The collapse of 7 World Trade Center occurred during this video. The resulting dust & smoke cloud is plainly visible. I spent most of the late morning and early afternoon filming the aftermath of the attacks from the promenade along the Belt Parkway in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. This video includes the live radio coverage from the two major all-news AM stations in New York, 1010 WINS and WCBS 880. I held my radio near the camera so that the reports were recorded live on the video. You will also hear my voice relaying to my wife via mobile phone that I believed 7WTC had just collapsed.

Allen Iverson finally shook his shadow and shook up the NBA Finals. Hounded by unheralded Tyronn Lue, Iverson scored seven of his 48 points in a one-minute span of overtime as the Philadelphia 76ers stunned the Los Angeles Lakers with a 107-101 victory in the opener of the NBA Finals. Iverson scored 30 points in a scintillating first half, letting everyone know that the 76ers were going to be more than another pushover for the powerful Lakers. His late flurry silenced the Staples Center and unceremoniously ended Los Angeles' run at a perfect postseason. "Anybody that bet on it, some broke people out there," Iverson said. "I'm glad nobody didn't bet their life on it 'cause they definitely would be dead right now." Instead, the Sixers -- double-digit underdogs -- are very much alive as they again displayed their heroic heart. "Our guys just try hard," Sixers coach Larry Brown said. "This is kind of unexpected but it's neat." In between Iverson outbursts, Lue stymied the NBA Most Valuable Player for nearly 20 minutes, using his quickness to prevent Iverson from even getting the ball, let alone shoot it. He had spent the last two practices impersonating Iverson (..less)

This is actual footage of my house under attack by a teenage gang back in 2001. I have cut out about a minutes worth where I had called the police on my mobile phone and gave them my details. It all started when I caught 3 of them in the act of vandalising the lights at the front of my house which resulted in me having an altercation with one of them. They left and came back with a gang of about 10. I was waiting for them with my Handycam camera and video taped the whole incident. The good news is after the police came and watched the video, the police arrested 3 of them after a short search in the area. (..less)
